This pandemic has resulted in physical and emotional exhaustion among everyone, especially among community healthcare workers (CHWs), resulting in increased burnout and poor sleep quality. This pandemic has increased responsibilities for Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers and Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) at the grassroots. Previous studies have shown that infectious diseases like SARS and MERS directly affect sleep. With the COVID-19 pandemic, burnout and poor sleep among healthcare workers are expected to increase.
To determine the prevalence of burnout and sleep quality among community health workers.
and Design: This Cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2020 in Urban Primary Health care centres of Guntur city, Andhra Pradesh.
Copenhagen Burnout Inventory scale (CBI) with a 5-point Likert scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Questionnaire were used among four hundred and ten study participants. Descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test were used; a p-value of ≤0.05 is considered significant.
The prevalence of personal burnout was 16.8%, while work-related and pandemic-related burnouts were 10.5% and 25.4%, respectively. The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 35.09%. Fear of contracting the virus was present among 38.3%. Fear of infecting the family members because of their exposure was reported by 36.6% of the respondents; 71.7% and 79.3% reported receiving support from the organisation and colleagues, respectively.
The provision of necessary equipment, regular check-ups and timely interventions will minimise the risk of stress and burnout.
这场疫情让每个人都身心俱疲，尤其是社区医护人员，导致职业倦怠加剧，睡眠质量变差。这场疫情增加了基层认证社会健康活动家（ASHA）工作人员和辅助护士助产士（ANM）的责任。先前的研究表明，非典和中东呼吸综合征等传染病会直接影响睡眠。随着新冠疫情的爆发，医护人员的职业倦怠和睡眠质量差的情况预计会增加。
确定社区卫生工作者职业倦怠和睡眠质量的患病率。
这项横断面研究于2020年2月至4月在安得拉邦贡图尔市的城市初级卫生保健中心进行。
对410名研究参与者使用了具有5点李克特量表的哥本哈根职业倦怠量表（CBI）和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）问卷。采用描述性统计和卡方检验；p值≤0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
个人倦怠的患病率为16.8%，而与工作相关和与疫情相关的倦怠患病率分别为10.5%和25.4%。睡眠质量差的患病率为35.09%。38.3%的人存在感染病毒的恐惧。36.6%的受访者表示担心因接触而感染家人；71.7%和79.3%的人分别表示得到了组织和同事的支持。
提供必要的设备、定期检查和及时干预将最大限度地降低压力和倦怠的风险。
